Boro Resrves lost 4-3 at home to Leeds United reserves last night at the Riverside. The Boro team only had three experienced players (Stockdale, Maccarone and Marinelli) whilst Leeds fielded Radebe, Duberry, Bridges, Barmby and Wilcox and in the end experience won out.
Boro were leading 3-1 at half-time and Leeds were down to ten men, so all looked like plain sailing for the second half. However, Leeds rallied and scored three times to go home victorious.
Boro Team:
Jones, Stockdale, Taylor, Smith, Gulliver, Bates, Liddle, Dove (McMahon 73), Downing, Maccarone (Graham 65), Marinelli
Not Used: Roberts (g), Harrison, Van Geele
